Your very kind letter came hand indue time, or in other words, bearing date of Oct. 30thit got here a little before the 1st of Dec. I had inthe mean time got one from Mr. Cannon and ans-wered it about the time I got yours, I thought I wouldwait till I got his answer before answering you, & thenlet him wait a little while. But as I have heardnothing from your place I had got tired of waiting& a little concerned at the delay lest he or his fam-ily should be sick, & so I begin now.

In the first place, let me thank you for thetrouble of drawing the battle ground for me, although it is the same one I copied. It was the view from thewest I felt anxious to have, & if you can afford thetime & labour [labor], may I ask it of your still?

Your letter also calls for my grateful acknowledge-ments. I hope to have occasion to be grateful againfor a like favor soon. I have watched the pagesof the Literary World with much anxiety for theannouncement of your picture among the prizesof the Art Union, where such things are reportedweekly, but in vain. I hope it will belong to thecollection for next year. However little I may beable to do for you, I sympathize with every effortyou make and hope you will be able to realize
